HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Smi'"'s Motion for the Urgency Of
Coercion 10 be Opposed by the Glad.
stonians and Parnellites,
LoyDoN. March 81

LoypoR, March 2l.
Smiths motion for the urgency for coer
cion bill will be opposed to the uttermost by
the combined strength of the Gladstonians
and Parnellites. Smith promises an early
statement Of the land proposals but the op.
position are determined not TO permit the in
PRODUCTION of the coercion bill until the land
question has been dealt with.
Ministeralists admit their inability to en-
iorce the new cloture rule without a pro-
traoted debate, extending beyond Easter.
The Glsdstonians greeted with derisive
laughter Smiths statement that he hoped TO
reach the second reading of the bill MONDAY.
The Irish conservatives will raise the oues-
tion why Father Keller is allowed SD, cisl
privileges in Kilmainham Jail. Father Kel
ler provides his own food and has q servant
and his friends have free access TO him. DR..
henney, medical official of the national
league, applied to be allowed to visit Father
Keller and supply him with champagne il
health requires il. The conservatives will
insist that the prisoner be treated according
to the rules as a first class misdemeanor.
Sir James Ferguson in the House of Com.
mons tonight said he hoped to lay before the
House before the Easter recess a dispatch
from the United States government relating
to the fisheries dispute.
The Parnellites are gratfied at Morlev's
amendment and heartily approve. OF it. The
amendment was drafted last week by Morley.
Harcourt and Gladstone with a view of
embarrassing the radical unionists, some of
whom the conservatives admi, may possibly
abstain from voting. Lord Huntington is
aware of the governments plans and has ap.
proved of them. He will probably carry tho
bulk OF mis- followers with him. The debate
on Morley's amendment will last several
nights and it is certain that Gladstone will
speak.
Ii is reported that the new crimes bill in
stead OF providing for the appointment of a
special jury to consist of members not likely
to be intmidsted, as at first drafted, now
proposes to give prisoners charged with
special ofienses option of jury trial at New
gate or by commission of judges in Ireland.

THE CHAUTAUQUA BLAZE.
Eighty Buildings Laid in Ashes-The
Absence OF Wind Saves the Entire De.
struction OF the Place.
BUFFALO. March 9l

BUFFALO, March 81.
A special from Jamestown says: The FIRE
al Chsutauqua Assembly grounds thi. morn
ing' destroyed eighty buildings, including
several large boarding houses. among them
the Eckert. Parkhurst and Alline houses
The total loss will probably exceed sl0O. 600
The fire started shortly after midnight in
Curtis cottage on Simpson avenue. 1t was
caused by defective fue. The cottage
buildings are of wood and are close together.
The fre spread rapidly TO adjoining cottages
ana the lack Of fire apparatus and the scare
NY OF help favored the flames. About sixty
iamiiles remain on the grounds during the
winter. Citizens from Msyville and the sur
rounding towns arrived on the scene and
greatly assisted the residents The fire swept
everything before it, taking both sides of
Simpson and Summerfeld avenues from the
auditorium to the Hotel Athenean. Itwas
with great difficulty that the hotel was saved
The absence of high wind alone saved from
destruction the large and costly structure.
The fire departments at CORY, Erie and
other large cities were telegraphed for, but
the Cory department alone responded. The
herolc work of the winter residents and
farmers from the surrounding country, un-
doubleday prevented the destruction of the
entire assembly with its costly buildings and
SUI cottages from destruction. All the cot
tages and boarding houses IN the burned dis
trict were furnished and equipped and very
little furniture was. saved. Many of the
burned cottages on Simpson avenue were
built last year. This was the most fashiona.
BILE avenue of the place. The cottages cost
from $4,000 to 900 each. The loss is di.
vided as follows: SO buildings on Simpson
avenue, "a buildings on Summerfeld avenue,
cottages on Terrall avenue and on He'd.
ding avenne. The magnificent forest trees
shading these streets were destroyed.
Six cottages on Ashbury avenue were de-
stroyed in addition to those reported. The
only means of fighting the fire was with axes
and buckets and many of the residents fought
the flames until they were prostrated. The
total loss will reach $l25,0

DR.. Andrew Jackson Grant, the alleged
bigamst and confidence man, was arraigned
in the Superior court at East Cambridge,
Monday morning, on the charge of larceny OF

There were two indictments, on both of
which he pleaded not guilty. He was

How a Liquor spotter Was Caught.

NEWPORT, X. I March IT.
In an interview at the Jail here today
Theodore Barnes said the man arrested in
Toronto by his brother Waldo. for black
mailing them, was not detective but a
Detroit trader named Reynolds. He wac
sent TO them by Detective Richards, to draw
them to Detroit, but failed. When Theodore
was finally trapped to Chicago be wired his
brother from there to look out for Reynolds,
and Waldo trapped him by marked money,
in an attempt to blsckmail him. A similar
complaint will probably also be brought
against the private detective who tried to
work them in guise of a reporter. Theodore
saws Waldo will not return until the result
of his case is evident.

and fever, has returned. Then 1t 10 the

The people in the country do not fare
30 well as those in the city during the
winter. They have stock to feed
and fires to provide. The sheds for
the cattle are made of straw and poles,
are low on the ground and generally
comfortable. But serious difficulty
is encountered in securing water for
the stock. Sometimes the wells and
streams for miles are frozen to the bot
tom. In such instances the snow 10
melted and the peasants drink this
and eat dried fish and meats till whole
families perish from scurvy.
Travel in the country during the win.
ter months is almost wholly by means Of
snow-shoes. The snow is too deep and
the travel so infrequent that horses can
not be made practicable. Reindeer and
dogs are used when the snow gets crust
strong enough to bear their weight.
Sometimes sledge drawn by reindeer
or dogs breaks through the snow and the
party are not seen till spring, and then
in decomposed condition. 4 more des-
